Exo-s, a supplier of global engineered injection and blow-molded thermoplastic systems for automotive and specialty markets, announced today that it will relocate its manufacturing operations in Three Rivers and its machine and tool shop in Centreville to Howe, Ind. The Canada-based company expects the move to be complete in 2014 and to increase its workforce by 20 percent over the next 18 months, officials said. The move allows Exo-s to accommodate planned expansion of operations to support increased demand for products, while keeping costs stable, said Todd Fowler, plant manager at Exo-s’ Three Rivers location. “Representatives of the local and state government, and the local business community partnered with Exo-s to present an offer that is perfectly aligned to our company’s future plans,” Fowler said.The company is renovating an existing building in Howe that was formerly an automotive component stamping plant.“Exo-s is a great fit for LaGrange County,” said Keith Gillenwater, President and CEO of the LaGrange County Economic Development Corporation. “It supports several regional companies and further diversifies our local industrial base. We are pleased to welcome them to our community.”
